[R] Problem in building a package in R 2.0.0

[Mikis Stasinopoulos]

Dear all

I am trying  to build a package in Windows.
I use the following command  (which it used to work with previous 
versions ) and I am getting the  following error


#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\PROGRA~1\R\rw2000\bin>Rcmd build --binary --use-zip 
C:\PROGRA~1\R\rw2000\src\library\gamlss
* checking for file 
'C:\PROGRA~1\R\rw2000\src\library\gamlss/DESCRIPTION' ... OK

installing R.css in c:/TEMP/Rbuild.1520

It looks that .read_description() can not pick the DESCRIPTION file 
properly.
Note that checking the package using  "Rcmd check 
C:\PROGRA~1\R\rw2000\src\library\gamlss"
works and that  I can install the package locally using  "make pkg-gamlss".

Thanks
